Hi - has anyone managed to get 8.1.6 running on Redhat 8.0?

My experience has been:

To get OUI running I had to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 It then runs through the installation until it tries to build a starter database. Then it gives an ora-12547 TNS: lost contact. OK - I let the installation finish and then use dbassist - however same error (ora-12547).

This seems to be telling me I running short of resources. It is an Intel Pentium III 800Mhz with 512 MB RAM

sysctl gives
...

kernel.sem = 250 32767 250 256
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 268435456
kernel.shmmax = 268435456

...

The environment variables I have been using.

ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.6
ORACLE_SID=testdata

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/etc:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/JRE/:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/product/jlib

Has anyone had any success with this configuration? - if so, how?

seed.log is produced when trying to create starter db:

ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
LCC-00161: Message 161 not found; product=SVRMGR; facility=MGR

ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
